STOCKTON – Officers from the state Department of Justice and Stockton police raided an illegal gambling establishment this morning, seizing weapons, drugs, at least 30 computers, cash counting machines and an ATM.

Following an eight-month undercover investigation, during which time D's Cyber Lounge moved from the 1100 block of Waterloo Road to its current location at 2550 E. Fremont St., agents observed numerous illegal activities including online gambling, prostitution and drug trafficking, according to police spokesman Officer Joe Silva.

Authorities believe the business raked in between $4,000 to $6,000 a day, or $35,000 a week. It received numerous complaints from surrounding businesses and residents for the clientele it attracted.
